Why is there a tutorial on implementing loops in some language or another on an OS development wiki? --Love4boobies 20:52, 26 October 2016 (CDT)

  • There is a standing plan to (eventually) create a separate wiki and forum for language design and compiler development. To this end, the OS wiki group established a set of pages for bootstrapping it, to be temporary hosted here. No one else has worked on it for a while, but the subject of how certain constructs came up in the fora, and was relevant to OS dev (because a question arose about efficiency for explicit loops versus gotos - one of the posters was using goto extensively on this basis, and we were able to show that it was not faster in general), so I thought it would make sense to add this as a permanent part of the CompilerDev wiki project.

Assembly Snippets Architecture

Most people are familiar with the x86 syntax. Could we consider converting the MIPS assembly snippets to x86 assembly snippets (preferably in Intel syntax)?
